Data on the differential modification of the oxic and anoxic components of radiation clastogenesis by caffeine already published in the literature have been briefly reviewed, additional unpublished data relevant for consideration of possible mechanisms have been presented and the possible events in terms of radiation chemistry have been discussed.
